How about a citrus pound cake with citrus cream to celebrate the arrival of spring and summer? There’s something about citrus-y flavors and the arrival of sunnier and warmer days – they belong together.

Especially in this dessert! (And this one. This one too.) I love working with Krusteaz! I’m inspired to try new things all the time with their mixes!

Ingredients for citrus pound cake

  • Krusteaz Meyer Lemon Pound Cake Mix
  • orange juice
  • butter
  • orange zest
  • water
  • instant cheesecake pudding
  • milk
  • whipped topping

How to make Citrus Poundcake with Citrus Cream

Truthfully, you can’t go wrong when you start with a box of Krusteaz Meyer Lemon Pound Cake, so if you bake that just as directed you’ll be 100% satisfied. However, adding orange to it is like adding sunshine to it, and everyone loves sunshine!

Oh my gosh, this is the yummiest citrus pound cake ever.

Start by mixing the cake mix, orange juice, melted butter and orange zest. Pour into a loaf pan and bake. How easy is that?

Let the cake completely cool, then spoon the lemon glaze from the package over the cake.

But don’t stop there!

For an extra special touch, whip up some cool and refreshing citrus cream to serve alongside the cake.

With a mixer, beat pudding mix and milk together until well blended. Stir in the orange zest and whipped cream.

Guys and gals, the citrus cream is like the icing on the cake. It’s so good I want to cry.

Springtime has never tasted better.

I’m not even kidding.

Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 1 pkg Krusteaz Meyer Lemon Pound Cake Mix
  • ¾ cup orange juice
  • 1 egg
  • 10 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
  • 1 ½- 2 tablespoons water for glaze

Citrus Cream

  • 1 3.4 oz pkg instant pudding, Cheesecake Flavor
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
  • 1 8 oz pkg whipped topping

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 9x5-inch loaf pan. Stir together cake mix, orange juice, egg, melted butter, and orange zest just until blended. Spoon batter into pan.
  • Bake 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. It's tempting to remove it when the top turns golden brown, but make sure the center is fully baked by sticking the toothpick all the way down. Cool 10 minutes in pan; gently loosen and remove from pan to wire rack. Cool cake completely before glazing.
  • For glaze: Whisk together lemon glaze mix from package and water until glaze is desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled pound cake. Allow glaze to set before serving.
  • For Citrus Cream: With electric mixer, beat pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes on medium speed. Stir in orange zest and whipped topping. Serve alongside cake.

    Can this be adapted for a bundt pan?

      Yep, you could do that! I’d compare volumes before baking to ensure the bundt pan isn’t too large. Also baking time would vary, but the toothpick test will help determine when it’s done.

    I don’t know where I went wrong… It came out flatish and too dense and greasy. The box asks for egg but, there’s no egg in your recipe. Should I have added an egg?

    The citrus cream was tasty and easy to make.
    Thank you for the recipe.

      I do add the egg and it’s not a very high-rising quick bread. It’ll be squattier in the loaf pan. I’m glad you enjoyed the citrus cream – I love that!

    This recipe for orange lemon pound cake with citrus cream sounds delicious. My only question is if the instant pudding is vanilla flavor that you add the citrus zest to as the recipe just says 3.4 oz package of instant pudding. I would love to try this recipe at some point.

    I love the citrus cream addition. I think that it adds a bit of zip and zing to an otherwise plain poundcake.
